Auto-Remove .DS_Store Files?

Long ago, I set the Finder to show invisible files in its windows, and have been indignant ever since watching valuable window space being grabbed by .DS_Store files. Do I need them for anything? Will I damage my hard drive or lose some important functionality if I run, automatically and in the background, say every five minutes, a script such as

	do shell script "rm -f `find ~ -name .DS_Store`"

?

Since I'm the only user of the computer, do I lose anything other than execution time if I substitute "rm -f `find / -name .DS_Store`"? Using OS X 10.4.6(PPC).

TIA,

Jonathan
